Operation
The control unit for the injection and ignition system is equipped with a fault memory.
If malfunctions occur in the monitored sensors or components, they are stored in the fault memory with indication of the fault type.
Stored information regarding the faults can be interrogated according to the instruction → Chapter.
After the fault(s) has(have) been removed the fault memory must be erased → Chapter.
A test drive of min. 10 minutes must be performed in order to interrogate the information regarding the fault according to the lambda control.
Faults due to a temporary line interruption or loose contact are also stored. These so-called temporary (sporadic) faults are shown as “SP” and if they do no longer occur during 40° vehicle starts, they are erased automatically in the fault memory.
  Note
t  The following description applies only for vehicle system tester -V.A.G 1552- used in combination with program card version 5.0.
